So great is the movement of the minorities to overthrow the oppres- sive dictatorship in various parts of Europe, thus threatening to over- throw the system of alliances and spoils by which the British and French imperialists have been able} to set up and maintain their dic- tatorships and form a_ bloc of ag-| gression against the Soviet Union, that the League is forced to try to; The German imperialists’ Gri German imperialism failed due to bad motors.

Burning embers set fire to other buildings in the vicinity, and to the quartermasters supply shed in Fort Hamilton, a quarter of a mile away. * * * DEMOCRATS TRY TO MEND FENCES WASHINGTON, June 2.—With John J. Raskob presiding, the demo- cratic party leaders will hold another inquest here June 10 into the causes of the demise of the national campaign last year. An attempt will be made at the meeting, which will first consume a dinner, to fix the blame, fire the guilty, and divide what posts and prestige still re- main, in the interests of various badly quarreling groups in the party. * * * ROTTEN BEEF FED TO CITY PATIENTS Condemned beef is being fed to the patients in New York City hospitals, said William Bullock of the republican county committee, yes- terday. Beef coming in from Cuba, which is condemned unfit for human consumption by the Bureau of Animal Industries, is taken over by the hospitals, he announced. * * * RELIGION HAS GATS TOO Mrs. Winnifred Gatling, wife of the Son of the,inventor of the Gat- ling gun, is back from Jerusalem. She is a fanatical faith healer, and says that she will make Jerusalem the center of the world through the spread of a cult which resembles christian science. Part of her theory is that the Anglo-Saxons are the lost tribes of Jews. * * * WOLL AGAIN HINTS AT WORLD CONTROL Matthew Woll has repeated in the latest issue of the Photo En- |make up two-fifths of the total con-| grayers Journal, out today, his program for world power for his own gang of misleaders of labor. He wants a world federation of reactionary unions with the International Federation of Trade Unions (The Amster- dam International) supreme in European affairs, and the Pan American | Federation of Labor (Controlled by American imperialism) supreme in the western hemisphere. The labor movement of the Soviet Union (11,000,000 strong) must be excluded from such an arrangement, said Woll. * * * CHICAGO, June 2.—The arbitration of the strike of iron workers was postponed from tomorrow till Tuesday, it was announced here late i eeinciicessienensenacadiortancercassocainess is also being used by the imperial- ists, thru their agent Pilsudski, as a Soviet Union. Danzig Corridor. The talk of certain political con- ns to be given to the German imperialists at the reparations con- ference in Paris, talk which has been supported by the Yankee imperial- ists, may result in the alteration of the treaty which gives Poland the Danzig corridor, splits German ter- ritory, and created the independent city of Danzig, where an imperialist arsenal is being conducted by the French General Le Rond. This was the cause of the friction between foreign minister Streseman and for- eign minister Zaleski of Poland at the session of the League. British and French imperialists will un- doubtedly attempt to frustrate this hope of aggrandisement on the part of the German imperialists, backed by Wall Street. In the agreements between various Balkan countries. for a military alliance against the Soviet Union, Danzig is to be the central point for the shipment of munitions to Poland by the British and French imperialists. The Macedonians. In the states of Yugoslavia, Bul- garia and Greece, among whom the Macedonian people have been divid- ed, the movement for autonomy, of- ten misled and used for nationalist purposes by the Balkan powers, has often led to open warfare. In ad- dition there are Bulgarian, Serbian and other nationalities in these coun- tries subject to cruel dictatorships. Despite the defeat of the con- servative government in Britain, Austen Chamberlain, who has been so instrumental in building the sys- tem of national oppression, will be present at the Madrid meeting of the League council. From the Brit- ish laborites the continuation of the system of blocs and alliances can only be expected. Soviet Union Beckons, There are also oppressed minor- ities in France, the Alsacians, and in Belgium, the Flemish, and the Catalonians in Spain are also en- gaged ina movement for freedom from the dictatorship of Rivera. In the Balkans alone there are at least 50 nationalities subject to the iron heel of oppression.
